Shopping, Kung-Fu, and Chopsticks - a great summer start

On Wednesday, Jenny had her last exam. Dad dropped us of at the Best's house because we figured to hang out, have a good time and catch a movie. Unfortunately, they had to go to their grandmother's funeral, so they dropped us off at the library so Jenny could do her exam and we planned to meet at Country Style at 2:30ish. I just read a book until Jenny was done, then we went shopping. First stop: Giant Tiger. I got a sweater, track pants, and some cake mix that I had been wanting to try but could not find anywhere. Oh yeah, and a big Mars Bar. (Mmm!) Second Stop: Dollarama. I just got a drink. Third Stop:Chez Thrift (which apparently is pronounced shay thrift, but I like saying chez thrift). I got a really nice pair of jeans for only $2! Fourth Stop: Bulk Food Store. I got candy! (What else?) After that Jenny went back to the library to read and eat lunch. I wanted to get something from Timmies with a $5 Tim card that I got for Christmas and had not yet used. Since I was down there, I checked in a store for the game Apples to Apples, which Sarah really wanted. (They didn't have it but referred me to another store). After I got a fruit and yogurt cup from Timmies I returned to the library to tell Jenny I was going to check the other store which was up by giant tiger. They did not have it either :( Then I returned to the library, where Katie and Aaron had already found Jenny. THey returned a lot sooner then they thought they would. Apparently they saw me go to Timmies as they passed so they went there after they got the car, but I was gone already...apparently I walk really fast. 'Neways, then we picked up Carolyn and went to see Kung Fu Panda...It was hilarious! It was also the third movie I've seen in theatres (Cars being the first and The Pirates who don't do anything being the second) Then we went back to their house, but only for a short while before everybody went to a Chinese restaurant for supper. The food was pretty good...I had fun mastering chopsticks! Then we got our fortune cookies. I expectantly broke open my cookie...and found nothing! I didn't get a fortune! I am fortuneless...lol. Did you know that fortune cookies were a Canadian invention? Anyways, after we went outside, Aaron left to pick up some dilly bars for desert. Jenny, Katie, Sarah, and I got bored waiting, so we started walking home. Katie and Jenny were walking too slow (or I was walking too fast) so Sarah and I went ahead of them. We got our dilly bars when the van caught up with us. Pretty much right after we got back to their house we had to leave for volleyball, which Sarah was going to, which was how we were getting home. When we arrived at volleyball, I jumped on the trampoline a lot with Geoffrey, David, and Luke. I also played a little bit of tennis with Geoffrey, and some soccer. What a way to start summer, eh?
